Good morning, class.
Today, we are going to dive into the fascinating world of tenses.
Are you all ready to learn?
Yes, teacher.
I'm excited to understand how we talk about different times.
I'm ready, teacher, but I sometimes get confused between past, present, and future tenses.
Can you help us clarify?
Of course.
Let's start with the basics.
What is a tense?
Is it something that tells us when an action happens?
Exactly.
Tenses indicate the time at which an action occurs.
Now, let's begin with the simplest tense, the present tense.
Can you give me an example of a present tense sentence?
Um, I play with my friends.
Correct.
In this sentence, play indicates an action that is currently happening.
Now, what about past tense?
Can you give me an example?
I played with my friends yesterday.
Excellent!
In this sentence, played indicates an action that happened in the past.
Now, let's move on to future tense.
Who can give me an example?
I will play with my friends tomorrow.
Perfect.
In this sentence, will play indicates an action that will happen in the future.
Now, let's practice identifying tenses in sentences.
I'll give you a sentence, and you tell me which tense it is in.
Okay, teacher.
She is singing a song.
What tense is this?
Present tense.
Correct.
Now, she sang a song.
What tense is this?
Past tense.
Great job.
And finally, she will sing a song.
What tense is this?
Future tense.
Excellent.
You are doing great.
Now, let's delve deeper into each tense.
What are the different forms of the present tense?
Um, is not it like play, place, and playing?
Exactly.
The present tense has various forms like base form play, third person singular plays, and present participle playing.
Can you give me a sentence using each form?

He plays soccer, third person singular.
We are playing soccer, present participle.
Fantastic.
Now, let's move on to the past tense.
What are the different forms of the past tense?
Is it like played, was, and were?
Write again.
The past tense has forms like simple past, played, past continuous was playing, were playing, and past perfect, had played.
Can you give me a sentence using each form?

Simple past.
He was playing soccer when it started raining.
Past continuous.

Excellent examples.
Now, let's discuss the future tense.
What are the different forms of the future tense?
Is it like will play, going to play, and will be playing?
The future tense includes forms like simple future, will play, going to future, going to play, and future continuous, will be playing.
Can you give me a sentence using each form?
I will play soccer tomorrow.
Simple future.
We are going to play soccer this weekend.
Going to future.
He will be playing soccer when you arrive.
Future continuous.
Perfect examples.
Now that we've covered the basics of tenses, let's practice using them in sentences.
I'll give you a scenario, and you create a sentence using the appropriate tense.
Okay, teacher.
Imagine you're planning a picnic for next weekend.
Which tense would you use to talk about it?
Future tense.
Exactly.
Now create a sentence about your picnic using future tense.

Wonderful!
You're getting the hang of it.
Now, let's try another scenario.
Imagine you're telling a story about your last vacation.
Which tents would you use?

Now create a sentence about your vacation using past tense.
